What is Tangible Hydra-PEG?
THP is a 90% water coating designed to fill the microscopic pits inherent in contact lens materials and build up into a lubricious, wettable layer that encapsulates the lens. The coating shields the tear film from the hydrophobic lens material so that the only thing exposed to the eye is a surface that closely matches the eye’s natural environment.
THP is a coating that is bonded to custom contact lenses designed to solve discomfort and dry eye by:
- Improving wettability
- Increasing lens surface water retention
- Minimizing deposits and lens fogging
- Increasing lubricity
Intended for:
- Dry eye sufferers
- Patients with comfort issues
- Patients adapting to corneal lenses
- Heavy depositors
- Patients with scleral fogging
- Patients with compromised tear film
Available Materials
Available materials for THP Coating:
- Optimum Comfort / Extra / Extreme / Infinite

Care Tips
Care Tips for treated Tangible Hydra-PEG coated lenses:
- CAREFUL! Lenses are slippery! Plug your drain to avoid losing your lenses.
- Do not use tap water. Only use buffered, preservative-free sterile saline solution to rinse your lenses.
- Do not use enzymatic, abrasive or alcohol-based cleaners. They may damage the Tangible Hydra-PEG coating.
- Always follow the solution and lens care recommendations provided by your eye care practitioner.
